Common Questions and Answers about Runny eyes and sneezing in kittens

sneeze

Last fall I noticed many of them sneezing,and they have leaky eyesand now that winter is here they are really coughing andsneezing with eyes and noses that are leaking. I feel so sorry for them and I don't know what they have? I have been giving them lots of warm meals and cleaning their eyes and noses. Thank you.

Herpes if very common and it will bring repeated colds, watering eyes, runny nose, andsneezing. It seems to be brought on by excess stress, and will hang around for a few weeks. This is something cats can handle unless there is yellow discharge from eyes or nose, then they will need to see the vet since it has turned from a viral to a bacterial infection which needs antibiotics.

Beener had it a long time ago and he is vaccinated but everytime a new kitty came to the house the new kitty would get the sniffles, sneezing, runny nose andeyes. Regardless of whether the new kitty was vaccinated or not. I noticed that the kittens have a mild cold right now and are sniffling and have runny noses and eyes. They are on amoxi drops and stinky foods. It has been 3 days and they are doing fine,, they also had a fever for a few days Im assuming as they felt rather warm to me.

Cats and kittens often sleep a lot when they aren't feeling well. It doesn't necessarily indicate a symptom inand of itself.
Is he still sneezingand, if so, does his breathing seem labored? Does he seem congested or have a runny nose or red eyes?
Is he still limping?
Has he been vaccinated? Boosters? Any tests come back positive? Has he been neutered?
If you can tell me some more detail, it would help, along with an update regarding changes in symptoms.

It seems as though she is only breathing through her mouth now and it sounds like she is weazing and she constantly has goop in her eyes. I called a vet and he said not to worry about it as long as she is eating and drinking still. She drinks all the time but I never notice her eating. I want to feel at ease but something doesn't feel right. I grew up with three cats and have an older cat of my own now and none of them have ever had colds so I wouldn't know if this is a normal cold or not.

If your vet did begin her initial shots then her meow should return and her runnyeyesandsneezing should stop.
I am sorry to hear about her leukemia test results but want you to know that nearly 1/3 of cats that test positive for Leukemia tests initially revert to negative in their second test. I personally have had several clients whose cats reverted to a negative or normal status.
The fact that she has a good appetite is excellent.

(I was told to by my vet) my kitten is still kinda geting over cat flu she has manky eyes, but the vet said if she gets a runny nose and starts sneezing take her straight back and they will put her on Antibiotics.
So just in case.... But things are looking good.... :)
Wooohooo. But all 5 being ill.. woah, I thought It was bad mine being born with Cat flu, but it never got passed on to the others.

Now, URI (upper respiratory infections) is VERY common in cats and often is mistaken as a cold because it looks like it with runny nose, stuffed up, icky eyes, sneezing, ect. It is very contagious between cats (not at all to people) and is airborne. To treat it you will need to go to the vet for an antibiotic. Clavamox (clavamic acid w/ammoxicillian) is the most common treatment and comes in both pill or liquid. Also, if there are other cats in the home, they would need treatment too.

told me this could be normal sometimes due to the extractions and should go away in 3 days or so. My research on the internet only found a few cases of this and it didn't look so good. They said if it didn't go away they could treat it with pregnazone I think but they didn't want to do it the same day he was released. I am concerned this will not go away as it is 2 days after his actual surgery and he still has it.
2. If he shakes his head, he immediatly falls over on the right side.

as far as her runny nose goes as long as she is still playfull and doesnt seem to be having issues breathing then she is probably fine. i have a kitten that is sneezing also and has a runny nose. its probably allergies. keep an eye on her and if she looks like she is having issues breathing or if she stops being playfull and doesnt want to eat then take her to the vet.

This kitten other than being very thin, seems to be very healthy and happy. No sneezing, no runnyeyes, no bloated tummy. She's very sweet and affectionate and is my shadow. However, she's not playful at all and doesnt seem interested in venturing off anywhere. She's not skittish or timid anymore either. She's completely at ease around me, and pretty much anyone at this point. I'm not used to having a kitten who's so low-key and well behaved.

mix with a bit of water and give orally with a dropper.
this will clear up the 'nasties' in the eyesand also the sneezing!!!
as far as the gagging....first of all this could be an emergency...like what Jade said it could be an obstruction. this should really be examined by a Vet asap
do you give hairball remedy? have you ever seen them cough up a hairball?
DIET....please STOP Iams and all the treats!!!

Hi Msmousie,
A kitten should gain a pound a month (normally)'
If Boo is having problems make sure your vet checks for Diabetes--yes it happens inkittensand it will effect every aspect of their growing life until they get treatment. Try that.
Also kittens all have worms--has it been de-wormed?/
Worms can cause a big stomach but will not allow nutrients in food to be absorbed, because they are eating Boos nourishment.

i have been dealing with the puffy eyesin the morning and deep wrinkles underneath and dry skin that is now all over my face and my ears for 2-3 weeks. after reading the benzoyl peroxide allergy, it made sense. i started using an acne scrub and moisturizer right before my eyelid problem. and for 2 days before it started, i started putting the moisturizer on my eyes. boy, what a mistake!

I then went to a more progressive ENT in 2005 who did an ethmoidectomy (removed the sinuses from between my eyes)and I really thought my problems were over. My pain and pressure were completely gone and I felt great. Until.....the beginning of the year I started having sinus infection problems with dizzyness and feeling totally lousey. A week and a half ago I was on my 3rd sinus infection when I finally went to a friend who is a Nurse Practitioner and had her culture my sinuses.

My cat Cloud was 16 years old. He began coughing andsneezingin April, and when I saw blood droplets in the sneezing I tool him to the vet. He dad strong heart, the air was going to the lungs, his temperature was normal, but he lost weight. The vet suggested MRI thinking it is cancer. He recommended Convenia thinking there was an infection.

If you got the diahrea your in mild withdrawl there is chest pain and aniety in tapering as well. Be realalistic. That other substance in there with the codiene that what is going to screw up your liver big time go to a doctor and get it checked. I hope your ok. Getting off this **** isn't a fast process at all. Your in danger go to doc it's serous bigtime 12 at once thats serious. Sorry but I'm concerned about your health so should you.

My question is if that is normal once it has been removed and how long does it last. I had it in for over a year but wanted it removed because my husband and I are planning for another baby. So I have one more question, how long could it take to conceive once it is removed? and is it safe to try the first month that it has been removed?
